Today The Double Shift released a bonus episode about the truly WILD behind-the-scenes stories of what it took to pull of our episode about sex worker moms. thedoubleshift.com/episodes/episo…
highlights include:
1. Story almost getting ruined by a kid's stomach bug (#workingmomlife)
2. "Brothel Hopping" in a Tony Soprano-style SUV
3. Conducting interviews while porn was playing on a loop
4. Self doubt and existential angst
I think all who listened to "Mamas of the Brothels" will appreciate this episode AND anyone who's interested in 1. journalism in general and 2. how we make this high quality show on a tiny budget will dig this. thedoubleshift.com/episodes/episo…
A public radio & podcasting vet just wrote me: "This behind-the-scenes recap is NUTS!" Trust me, you are gonna enjoy hearing how @Sarazonah worked her journalistic magic to pull this RIGHT out of the fire.
and if you are not subscribed to our newsletter, you are missing out on interesting gems, like @Sarazonah talking about body image and her own anxieties walking into a brothel. us19.campaign-archive.com/?e=&u=f797ac02…

There is a five alarm fire burning that is going to impact A GENERATION of gender equity in all of society, and it's getting not enough attention. It's the impact of virtual school on MOTHERS specifically. These stats should stop you dead in your tracks: source.wustl.edu/2021/03/school…
this is crucial research by @CaitlynMCollins that should be big national news. "In states where elementary schools primarily offered remote instruction, the gender gap between parents in workforce surpassed 23 percentage points in 2020."
there was no statistically significant impact on fathers' labor force participation.

This is not a critique of vaccine prioritization, just an irony. The paid caregivers for my kids (teachers, daycare workers etc) are eligible for the vaccine, but if you are an UNPAID caregiver of children, you aren't eligible. Just another way we devalue care work.
Also it still BLOWS MY MIND there is not political mobilization for compensating parents for the unpaid work and personal/financial sacrifices we've done in the last year.
like, yea it's cool that retired vaccinated boomers can go eat in restaurants now. (I am very happy for all of the lives saved by prioritizing elders, seriously) but with some schools still closed & and NO meaningful policy solutions for families..

865K women exiting the workforce in one month is perhaps the long term-impactful economic story of the year, period. Why are only podcasts/outlets aimed at women/moms inviting me to talk about it?
Economics and general interest shows/outlets. Hi. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm a Harvard Nieman fellow, creator of an acclaimed reported podcast on a new generation of working mothers. (pssst.. i have a tip) The status of mothers in the workplace... effects everyone
To clarify, many outlets have covered this stat. My point is that this is a huge generational story that needs voices FROM mothers in the trenches, so our voices aren’t silenced in how we can shape our collective future.

Y'all. The Double Shift is BACK. Ep 1 out today, with co-host @agarbes. This ep all about making sure mothers' voices are actually heard during this most extraordinary time. Listen & Subscribe! traffic.megaphone.fm/DSPRD661132364…
865,000 women left the workforce btw aug and sept. The Double Shift is here to make sure our forced exodus from workplaces does not mean we are forced out of conversations and the shaping our collective future.
We want this season to be an imperfect capsule of this pandemic, putting mothers at the center of the story, rather than off in the shadows.

In a rare spot of good news, I love reading about how employees at @Poynter spent a year advocating for a better family leave policy and now have 6 months! poynter.org/business-work/…
One of the advocates, @Mel_Grau, was told to "not get her hopes up" since others had tried and failed before, but the times are a changin'! I'm extremely gratified to know that my reporting for @NiemanReports 3 yrs ago has been fuel for the fire across the media industry
Original article here: niemanreports.org/articles/where… Writing this story changed my life as well. It helped me understand that my calling was to tell the stories of working mothers in America.

Have you ever seen a man publicly acknowledge the childcare that allowed him the space to work that let him get a promotion, finish a book, come up with a scientific breakthrough or win an award?
you see men thanking their wives, but why do women acknowledge that paid childcare makes their work possible when men never do?
How about in that awards speech or celebratory tweet we start seeing, "I'd like to thank my Nanny Lucy for giving me the space to work hard enough to achieve this"
